fore. while the average range was shade
higher Receipts amounted to 400 cars with

Flour-The steady strength developed in
market. Whether any real advance is to be
gained i'll the latter depends upon the out
come of the former. There has seldom been
a sharper inquiry for wheat in the North
west for flour making than is now in exist
ence. The deploratle decentralization in the
wheat option trade, caused by the unfortu-
nate attempts CT the past summer, almost led
people to forget that there is u legitimate use
for wheat, or any use Tor it other than to fill
short sales with. In spite of it the demand
for cash wheat is something remarkable and
the cash trade in wheat and the trade in flour
are on a strong and apparently healthful
basis. Foreign demand is increasing and
promises a full flow for the season.
